How It Works

Meet Adaptive Hydroᵀᴹ

Overview

We utilize a siphon system that collects the upstream water and carries it over the dam to the outflow where it is connected to an Adaptive Hydroᵀᴹ module.

Step 1: Siphon

Our siphon system sits at the head of the dam to channel the water for transport. We install proprietary screens at our intakes that passively deflect debris and wildlife which reduces the hazard potential and maintenance needs. The water is then directed over the dam and down to the outflow, where it is connected to an Adaptive Hydroᵀᴹ module. The siphons are designed to avoid any contact with the dam, thereby avoiding unnecessary stress on the dam.

Step 2: Generation

At the base of the dam sits an Adaptive Hydroᵀᴹ module which is connected to the siphons. At the end of our siphons the accelerated water exits, making contact with the turbines. The turbine's rotation is then converted into electricity with onboard generators, creating stable power.

Step 3: Utilization

The electricity generated is then connected to devices for local consumption or conditioned for interconnection with the grid.
